Synopsis

Retirement? No, thanks! Sensational octogenarians express their unshakable appetite for life. Life at eighty, according to Janette Bertrand, Fernand Dansereau, Edgar Fruitier, Jacques Godin, Richard Garneau, Jacques Languirand, Antonine Maillet, Monique Mercure, and Béatrice Picard. This documentary looks at work, happiness, living in the present, energy, resiliency, amazement, transmission, wisdom, urgency, memory, euphemisms, honours, staying in good shape, mourning, and the things one must cling to in order to keep focused on the future. In short, it looks at life.
